Did your kids already have their meningococcal vaccines?
I'm checking our immunization schedule and I'm so glad that we are up-to-date and my kids already have their meningococcal vaccines. Did you know that 130 Filipinos were infected and 68 died of meningococcal disease in 2019. It increased by 15% compared in 2018 wherein 113 got sick and 57 died. Meningococcal disease can be prevented by vaccines. That's why it is important for all of us to watch 𝐊𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬: 𝐍𝐚𝐬𝐚 𝐈𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐭𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐡𝐚𝐲, another FAMHEALTHY episode brought to us by @theasianparent_ph and @sanofi.ph. You can still watch it in the Asian Parent Philippines Facebook Page and learn more about meningococcal vaccine from the host Dr. Ging Zamora and the guest speaker, a pediatrician, Dr. Suzanne Ponio-Degollado. It is important to be guided and to have someone to talk to about vaccines. Don't hesitate to communicate with your local health center, your pediatrician or join the Team Bakunanay Facebook Group. Together with our Bakunanays, feel free to ask questions about vaccines for your child.
